PowerPBX commented on ASTERISK-20128:
-------------------------------------

This is what worked for us on CentOS 6 KVM using Asterisk 11.4.0 which also apparently has this problem.  Your mileage may vary.

./configure CFLAGS=-mtune=generic

If you want to be more precise get your cputype:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Find it in gcc cpu options.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html

Then use:
./configure CFLAGS=-march=mycputype

My guess is that Asterisk is using
-march=native
Which is getting it wrong for VM's sometimes.
